: The external cephalic version (ECV) represents the standard for pregnancies at term with a non-cephalic presentation as it avoids planned caesareans. aim of this study was to assess caesarean rate and prognostic factors birth after undergoing ECV, which compared scheduled caesareans (SCG) spontaneous presentations (GG). No difference observed between ECV (n=65) GG (n=3711) groups (9.84% 14.47...

The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between imaging surrogates for diffuse fibrosis and myocardial dysfunction. Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were classified into two groups: a control group (n = 18) and an alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n = 18). For all rabbits, conventional ultrasonography, two-dimensional speckle tracking, and cardiac magnetic res...

BACKGROUND The External cephalic version (ECV) is a skill as well as an art that could be easily acquired. It has become a valuable option in the management of breech foetus at term. Aims of this study were to determining those factors that were significantly associated with success of external cephalic version (ECV) procedure. METHOD This prospective interventional study was conducted at Dep...

This is the first report of the isolation of a coronavirus from elk calves. Two fecal samples from elk calves with diarrhea were shown to be positive for coronavirus-like particles by electron microscopy, and the particles were propagated in the human rectal tumor-18 cell line. After 24 h, syncytia were observed, and cell culture supernatants from both samples showed hemagglutinating activity w...

The transport properties of the nucleobase hypoxanthine were examined in the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line ECV 304. Initial rates of hypoxanthine influx were independent of extracellular cations: replacement of Na+ with Li+, Rb+, N-methyl-D-glucamine or choline had no significant effect on hypoxanthine uptake by ECV 304 cells. Kinetic analysis demonstrated the presence of a single ...

Background The benefit of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can differ in patients and therapy bears severe risks. Dual T1 mapping allows for a comprehensive assessment of myocardial tissue by quantification of extracellular volume (ECV) by measuring T1-relaxation before and after administration of Gadolinium(Gd). High degree aortic stenosis can lead to cardiac damage such as diff...

Background Extracellular matrix expansion is fundamental to left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and is a therapeutic target. CMR techniques are increasingly used to evaluate myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), however the most widely applied methods are without histological validation. The aim of this study was to provide whole-heart, histological validation of; 1. Dynamic-equilibrium CMR (Dyn...

Breech presentation occurs in 3 to 4% of all term pregnancies [1]. Vaginal breech delivery rate has declined significantly since the Term Breech Trial, which showed lower serious perinatal mortality and neonatal morbidity after planned caesarean section delivery at term [1]. External cephalic version (ECV) is proven effective to prevent vaginal breech births and Caesarean sections [2]. The fetu...

BACKGROUND Left atrial deformation (LAD) parameters are new markers of atrial structural remodelling that seem to be affected in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). This study aimed to determine whether LAD can identify patients with a higher risk of thrombosis and unsuccessful electrical cardioversion (ECV). METHODS Retrospective study including 56 patients with AF or AFL unde...
